Sunday Funday

Day 242:

Well well well, Son...  Today was a day of sun, fun, and family time the likes of which we've not seen for weeks!  No thanks to whatever illnesses we've all been carrying around.  No sir, today we were all healthy and ready to get our errands run, get the house picked up ahead of the maids coming tomorrow, and spend he day having some fun.  And all despite the air conditioning having blown its start capacitor  yesterday!

To that end, your Uncle Doug came to the house this morning to diagnose the issue and determine a course of action.  Fortunately the needed part is really only about $12.00, though the trouble with that of course is the part is a "specialty" part; not something we can pick up at Home Depot or Sears.  Bottom line, the place to get that part isn't of course open on Sunday, and so Doug will get the part tomorrow and complete the repair.

All this in mind, if your A/C is gonna break in August, this would be the day for it to happen.  The weather was Summertime sublime and absolutely perfect.  Excellent weather to get out of the house.  Excellent weather to do things together!  I mentioned running a couple of errands, then it was off to the pool for a few hours.  We swam and played and had a ball and then walked home to get you fed,  change clothes, and then it was off to the tennis courts!

As a part of Mommy and my efforts to lose weight, get healthy, and have more fun together, we're once again taking to sport, Conor.  And really, you're all the example we'd need!  You eat well!  You're getting stronger!  Seems it's time we do the same after years of just, not.  The food you're eating is an example as to what we SHOULD be eating... Today's diet was pears, potatoes and spinach, blueberries and bananas, and of course, some good old fashioned rice cereal... So we're cooking better, drinking more water, and feeding our need to compete.  It's a great corner to turn, Conor.  And it's all thanks to you...

I love you, Conor.
